About, Services & Service Areas


Encore Staging Services was founded by owner and principal designer, Vanessa Nielsen. Her mother was a beauty stylist and her father was a professional tailor. Since childhood, Vanessa was inspired by their creations; as a child she made dresses and decorative pillows for herself and her friends. Throughout her teens, she helped friends get ready for school proms

by cutting and styling their hair as well as applying their makeup. Prior to Encore Staging, Vanessa was a seasoned marketing and public relations expert in the professional beauty industry. She currently holds a real estate license, although she no longer practices. After helping her Broker stage properties in Santa Monica, Vanessa decided to return to Silicon Valley, start a family and her own business. Encore Staging Services was born, and it has grown ever since. Rain or shine, Encore delivers on the promise to complete all installations on the day promised, and with full client satisfaction. During the early days of the business, Vanessa even kept this promise by bringing her 8 day old daughter with her to stage a home on time. Encore is truly dedicated to beautify the Silicon Valley and lower Peninsula markets one home at a time. Our Service Areas

A realtor told me we were referred to him by ChatGPT.

I had to smile.

Word of mouth takes new forms these days.

If you're looking for the best home stagers in California, we appreciate the mention.

Cupertino.

Driving up the curve to this hilltop estate, you feel something shift. A circular turret. A sunroom wrapped in glass. And French doors that open to 10 acres of rolling hills and a 270-degree view of the South Bay.

The video ends with a quiet moment of a woman standing on the ridge line, taking it all in. It captures exactly what this place offers: a pause.

Wishing the future owners many evenings watching the city lights flicker on from their own patio.

To celebrate my eldest daughter turning 14, and to fuel her passion for theatre, I let her pick out a play for us to see.

She chose an epic production and rocked her own unique style for the occasion. It was a beautiful mother-daughter day that I'll cherish.

Alameda.

This one is on the water, and it shows.

We kept the staging light and neutral, just enough warmth to let the views take center stage. The living room opens onto a covered deck. The kitchen has a skylight and a large wood island that feels like the gathering place. The bedrooms look out onto the water.

They're having a special open house this weekend.

If you know someone looking for a waterfront retreat in Alameda, this one is worth a visit.

Alameda.

This home has been on the market for a little while now. So we thought we'd give it another moment in the light.

It has a cozy living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with warm wood and beautiful dark pendants, a den that works perfectly as an office, and a private backyard patio tucked away from the street.

We staged it to feel open, warm, and ready for someone to make it their own.

If you know anyone looking in Alameda, this one is worth a look.

Los Altos.

This one was a joy to stage.

Every room connects to the outside. The light flows through all day. And the kitchen feels like the center of something good.

We kept the staging simple, let the architecture do the heavy lifting.

Wishing the new owners many evenings on that deck.

A mother who laughs easily. Who holds children. Who travels and smiles and lives a full, rich life.

These are the moments that feel like the real reward.

Watching her move through life with grace and joy has shaped everything, including the way I think about home.

Today we celebrate the women who create the foundation for all the rest.

“Before: a house. After: a home that feels like her.”

Moms don’t just live in a house. They breathe life into it. The corner where she reads. The couch where everyone lands after dinner. The kitchen that creates memories.

We uncover the warmth that was always meant to be there.

East Palo Alto.

This one started as a construction site with a vision.

We focused on softening everything: warm woods, an arched entryway, marble that breathes, and a backyard that feels like a quiet escape.

Watching a house find its voice is always rewarding.

San Jose.

Warm wood cabinets in the kitchen. A dining room with classic wainscoting. And a backyard with a fire pit that feels ready for cool nights.

We kept the staging light and neutral, just a few touches of color to guide the eye. Let the original features and the natural light do the work.

Wishing you a home that invites you to settle in, not just pass through.

Do you have a room that serves as your quiet escape when you need one.
